Home Sweet Home03.06.09
I am back home in Norway! First, I am giving Odd a big hug and a kiss then I am going to savour and indulge stuff that I miss and of course people to visit. The whole ordeal being back in the third world left me scarred. Even though it was just around a year and a half it felt like I was trapped in a dump or if I put it bluntly, hell for all eternity. It’s not that I don’t like being there but the place constantly reminds me of some painful memories. I don’t need to elaborate on that but I am glad that facing my past gave me sort of a closure and of course making me stronger than ever. It also made me realise where I truly belong and of course who my real family and friends are. Which calls that I was really born in a wrong country. Hahahahahah!
Kidding aside, I just want to thank Acey, Sarah, Menchie, Milleth, my nanny Amy; the people (Vanessa, Kristie, June and Omar) at the Parklane International Hotel where I trained on their gym; my stylist, Bebot of Bench Fix Ayala and my skin care specialist, Nene of Ruiz Derma Ayala Cebu Branch. They are the ones who made my whole stay in the Philippines a bit tolerable. It wasn’t easy for me as I battled against depression and loneliness. No amount of money could help me with that. All I wanted was to come back home and finally I am awake from this long nightmare. Now, I can live my life happily ever after again like Sleeping Beauty with her Prince Charming in the Kingdom of Norway.
Yes, I know I’m such a queen.
That’s all.
P.S.
Regular blogging program resumes on my next post! Yes, that means more recipes to come!

Great to have you broadcasting back from home!
Ah, you live in Bergen, that is on the coast, some 600 kilometres from the ferry to Denmark at the bottom of Norway.
A lot of boats leave Bergen for cruises in the fjords.
I know all this because my wife contemplated a holiday in Norway, so I looked some stuff up.
I was really enthousiastic, but then she decided that we would wait another year until we have our new car, I should get it somewhere in September.
Haven’t found a new holiday destination yet.
I’ll look forward to your recipes.
The best time to travel to Bergen is around summer when the temperature is nice and mostly it’s sunny as well.
Chase, that’s very exciting news! I’m infinitely happy for you!!!
I’m looking forward to seeing more posts from you soon
Thank you! I am also happy to be back in the blogosphere and write something interesting again.
That’s fantastic! Welcome back to Europe. So when is the wedding? And did you remember my dried mangoes?
My love to Odd!
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!

I’ve not been to Norway and it kind of out of my budget now.
But this is one place I would like to visit someday…when my piggy bank grow up…heehee
The picture you’ve posted is beautiful.

It’s weird but when I came back home it felt that I didn’t left at all. I managed to reconnect immediately to my friends here.
Welcome backkkk ^_^ ! Was wondering what happened to you. If you were in hell, i was there too. I wonder why didn’t we see each other?
Long story. Anyways, glad to have you back online and I’m happy for you, dear. Laters. ^^v
Too bad that we didn’t meet. We could have created a blast down there hehehehehhe.
Welcome back to the most beautiful country in the world. At least I think so … and also the most expensive place to live in:)
Sweden is a beautiful country too and I need to explore there a bit more since I havent been to Stockholm or Gøteburg.
Fantastic news! Glad you made it back “home”.
I am glad there are actually HAPPY ENDINGS in life!
Enjoy !
Very very happy for you
there is indeed no place like home.
True and thank you!
Welcome back, Charles! After all the odds, you found your way back home. And that’s the most important thing. Now, let’s get you boys fitted in your wedding suits.
That photo is kick-ass!
I still don’t know what to wear but I am sooooo excited to get married next month!
Ayyyy! You are back!!!!
I don’t think I will last in the Phil for over 2 weeks…. but I’m sure you will miss all the food.
Same here but I didn’t know that I was strong enough to last there in a long time so hurray for me. LOL! I do miss the food there but not some people.
Glad to hear things are on the up and up with you and it’s good to have you back to the blogging world!

OMG…all those people in the Philippines?! Yep, you’re a queen!
Hi charles, miss u na! i’m glad ur back in norway safe n sound. best of luck!
Charles,
excuse me really to be so absentminded.
I did not realize you are back home.
Must be a great relief.
You know, I have no idea what you in reality have gone through.
I can just imagine – but that’s far from reality.
However, welcome back to your home.
Hope to meet you some day.
hugs from
Tor and Anna
in the Sumerhouse(s)
Welcome home where you belongs Charles – you know I’m so happy for you – and for Odd too!
Hope I can have a hug soon too
See you and hopefully Diane as well in Oslo!
This is your Brother Ed. I’m so glad you are in Norway again. I’m sure Odd will be in you soon. Don’t ever leave Bergen again young man!
I am excited to get married soon and of course I won’t leave his side again.
I have one word:
Hurray
then.
Skulle bare mangle – så trist det tok så lang tid – hva “##¤& skal disse byråkratene drive tiden sin med enn å skaffe seg loop etter loop av jobb. Jeg blir ganske så kvalm om vi betaler skatt for å ha offentlig ansatte som ikke er i nærheten av å skille klinten fra hveten.
Have a wonderful weekend
and thanks for all your inspiring comments
Uyy I didn’t know you came to Cebu! Sayang. Would have loved to show you around
I can so relate to the feeling of been born in the wrong country. I feel the same way about Switzerland but since it is much harder for me to make it back there, I stayed instead in Canada which I had never been to even upon making my decision to stay. Congrats to you and Odd! And I enjoyed the photos of your visit to Oslo. It’s such a beautiful place. And lastly, glad to hear you are back where you belong, happy and living life!
